Chapter 146 Evil
Until outside the cave, Lu Jinping sat on the ground, panting desperately with his feet facing the sky. [Phoenix/Phoenix/ Please search] The other people were also out of breath. Although they were not as embarrassed as Lu Jinping, I don’t know why Lu Jinping ran out so anxiously.
Lu Jinping finally breathed smoothly, then sat up and said, "We have a great life. We will die later if we are a little late!"
Several people were surprised and looked at him.
Jiang Xiaozhou said, "Is there a ghost inside? Was that person strangled to death by a ghost? It's so scary." As soon as he said this, Jiang Xiaozhou suddenly covered his head and said, "My head hurts so much!"
At this moment, several other people also said that they had a headache, but they just endured it and didn't say it.
Lu Jinping smiled: "There is no strength to have a headache, right? Hehe, we have a great life, we just saved our lives!"
"Ah? What's going on?" Wang Shiduo and others asked.
"I won't tell you for now. You'll know after a while. Let's hide in the woods and walk around, waiting for Zhang Yousheng to carry the baby out and we'll stop him."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Wang Shiduo said, "Sir, can you be sure that he will find the treasure?"
Lu Jinping smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you what's going on in a while. Now, you guys are squatting next to the cave, be careful not to make any noise. When Zhang Youcai comes out, you can catch him immediately, but don't hurt him."
When he heard how Lu Jinping arranged it, several people vaguely knew what was going on. He nodded quickly and was about to squat separately, Lu Jinping called Yao Dong. He took out a cotton swab and said, "I need a little saliva from you. Don't ask why, I will tell you later."
Yao Dongcai was very confused, but after Lu Jinping said so, he nodded.
After Lu Jinping took out his oral mucosa swab, he took Yunzi to the woods not far from the entrance of the cave and sat down in the bushes. Lu Jinping said to Yunzi: "You squat in the grass in the front of the cave entrance, don't reveal your whereabouts. If they can't control Zhang Youcai, you can take action, but don't hurt his life."
Yunzi nodded and lie down in the grass in front of him, waiting for Zhang Yousheng to come out.
At this time, Lu Jinping leaned against a tree, opened the forensic investigation box, took out the cotton swab, extracted the blood stain from the blade that pierced the heart of the corpse, and then swabed the blood stains and the mucosal swabs in Yao Dongcai's mouth for DNA testing.
He responded very quickly to this portable DNA sequencer, and he was confident that he would complete the relevant test before Zhang Yousheng appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Sure enough, the test results came out, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At this point, the truth was revealed.
After a while, finally, there were shouts of scolding and fierce fighting from the entrance of the cave. Then there was a scream. Then Wang Shiduo was panting and shouting loudly: "Sir, we have caught him, you come out quickly!"
Then Lu Jinping carried the forensic survey box and hummed a small song and walked towards the cave.
Yunzi stood in front and waited for him, took the box from him, and followed him to the entrance of the cave. Seeing Zhang Yousheng being pressed to the ground, his right arm flipped strangely, constantly emitting painful **.
Wang Shiduo frowned at Yunzi with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your help, otherwise the three of us would really not be able to cure this old thief. I didn't expect that this old thief is so powerful in martial arts."
It turned out that Yunzi was hiding in the dark just now and saw that the three of them could not subdue Zhang Yousheng. Zhang Yousheng might escape, so he knocked out a stone and smashed his right shoulder. Only then did several people catch him.
Yao Dongcai and Wang Shiduo held Zhang Yousheng down, pulled out their belts and hurriedly tied him up. Jiang Xiaozhou picked up a brocade box on the ground and wanted to open it. After hesitating for a moment, he still held it in front of Lu Jinping with both hands and smiled and said, "Sir, this should be the treasure. You should keep this thing first. After selling it, we will divide it according to the previous agreement."
Yunzi smiled faintly. Jiang Xiaozhou was also very eye-catching. When he was holding the brocade box just now, Yunzi swept over like lightning, letting the other party know that it was powerful and took the initiative to hand over the things to Lu Jinping. Because if Lu Jinping was determined to seize this treasure, there would be no problem. Jiang Xiaozhou knew that they were not opponents in total, so it would be better to send the things to the other party first. The other party was the lord of the court and should not have any intention of seeing money. This was also a last resort.
Zhang Yousheng whispered in pain and said loudly: "What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? Are you crazy?"
Lu Jinping looked at him and sneered: "Why arrest you? Because you brought us into this cave and wanted the evil spirits in the cave to kill us! You dare to murder the imperial officials, but can't you arrest you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Lu Jinping.
Zhang Yousheng's body trembled for a moment, looked at Lu Jinping and said, "Sir, I, I don't understand what you mean?"
"Don't you understand? OK, let me say it!" Lu Jinping said, "To be honest, I didn't really suspect that you had bad intentions before entering the cave. Previously, they suspected that you had murdered their father. Because there was no evidence, I would not believe it. However, what they said made some sense, so I was a little wary of you, because the truth was very simple. The four of you stayed in the mountain village for twenty years for this baby, which is enough to show how important this baby is to you."
"But, after you are sure that the three of them should have died on the island, you have not found a way to find a helper to go back to find the treasure, because you have this possibility, you already know which island it is. Although you don't know which mountain it is, the island is only so big after all, and you can always find it after searching slowly. The beasts on the island are actually not a big obstacle. People are very smart and have some ways to deal with the beasts, but you find them one by one, tell them the situation, and ask them to follow you to the island to look for the treasure. This is inconsistent with the practice you have been guarding that treasure for twenty years and no one believes in anyone."
"There are often special reasons for doing something inconsistently. Although I was not sure about this reason, I guessed it a little bit. This is where I am vigilant about you. It turned out that my vigilance makes sense, because after entering the cave, I soon discovered the pool of blood on the ground. I used the Tao method to confirm that it was human blood. I asked you for the blood book written by the four of you, which contained your blood samples. My Tao method can identify who these blood belonged to. After comparison of Tao method, I was sure that the pool of blood on the ground was one of the three dead people."
"It seems that, as you said before, your boss is dead somewhere outside the cave, and there are signs of being eaten by wild animals, then you will have only one survivor. We continued to walk in, and suddenly claimed that the stomachache was going to be convenient. When we left first, we came to the hole you mentioned. At this time, I smelled a corpse smell, which was very light, but could not escape my nose. Following the corpse smell, I found a corpse in a hidden cave. It was this corpse that made me finally sure that you brought us to death and wanted to murder us! Just like you killed your brother in this way before!"
Yao Dongcai interrupted, "Is the dead old man on the ground... who died of evil spirits? He is the father of one of the three of us? I can't recognize it, and the body has rotted and changed. I met my father when I was a child, but I haven't seen him for more than 20 years. I can't remember what he looks like."
Lu Jinping nodded and said, "That's right, I pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the heart, because although the human being was dead, most of the human blood had already been slaughtered, and my heart was relatively better. And I didn't have more time to take other materials on the body. I could only hope that his heart was relatively clean and could be used for me to use Taoist Technique to confirm his identity. Sure enough, the sky has not disappointed me. I determined his identity from the blood sample of the dagger that stabbed his heart, and that was one of the three missing people!"
Wang Shiduo looked at Lu Jinping nervously and said, "So, the dead old man should be my father! Because my father is the eldest among them, the oldest, and his old man is full of white hair. It must be my father, but did the fourth uncle say that my father was bitten to death by a wolf outside the cave? How could he die in the cave?"
Lu Jinping said: "He told a lie. Your father was not bitten to death by wild animals, but died from evil spirits. This evil spirit is invisible, without any sound or smell, which makes people fall into the Tao without realizing it. People who are caught in this evil spirit will have a very prominent feature, that is, the skin, lips and internal organs of the deceased will appear in a cherry-like rice red. This color can be maintained even after a few months after the person dies, especially the temperature of the cave is very low. Now it is winter, and the corpse is rotten slowly, which allows this feature to be retained for a long time. Especially in the low parts of the corpse, because the blood will be deposited at the low corpse under the action of gravity after the person dies. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise we would be afraid that all of them would die in it."
The evil spirit Lu Jinping mentioned is actually carbon monoxide. The old man died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Of course, Lu Jinping could not say such modern word as carbon monoxide, so he found a word "evil spirit" that the ancients could understand to explain, so that they could easily accept it.
